These blocks are firmly imbedded in an embankment, and bar tamptrad, six inches above the surface of the roadway, and can he found even after a heavy dew or after the sprinkling cart has raised through the square; " Now, if those in authority in the city would raise the cross walks now laid in this square, to the same height, and ex. tend the outside paving three feet in width each side of stringer, they'will confer a favor that would be' properly appreciated. It is true that such elevation would some- what interfere with the showing ofi of the 7;45,15 nags, the drivers of which, use the square .for a trotting cours'e, but we are sure that those persons that are obliged to use their legs to make the transit, will not complain in consequence of such de- creased speed.

John Gantley, Jr., was arrested last him in Ike Lee's Saloon, He was brought up to Wilton Sunday morning, but no one would go bail for him, so he was held for trial on a charge of breaking the windows of Truma.

Mrs. James Condon and Mrs. John Burns whose lucifer passions had been ex- cited by imbibations of cheap whiskey, fancied they had a spite against Messrs. Byrne and McKenna, the enterprising marble workers on Main street, and to vent it they broke into an apartment oc- cupied by those gentlemen as a storage room, and seized and threw down a stair- way sundry tools, sculptures and other valuable objects, making havoc generally. In doing it they caused noise enough to disturb the neighborhood. Both were ar- rested and failing to furnish bonds in the sum of $200 each, were sent to Bridge- port. to await trial. Mrs. Burns has three children, two of whom were sent to the Wilton poor house. The other was re- tained by Mr. Charles H. Kempcr. Compo Engine Co.

In his address, Mr. Benjamin alluded to christian character'efeveted by self denial and labors for the .good of., others—to the brevity of human life and t') the sadness which premature death induces when, as in the case before him, an object surrounded with all that tends to make life desirable and happy, is suddenly called away. The remains were conveyed to Willow Brook Cemetery and deposited in the Ketchum plot which was attractively radiant by the presence of shrubs and rare blooming plants. The large attendance of citizens, on short notice, at the church, attests the high by this community. It is proper to remark as showing Mr. Ketchum’s love of Wesport, that, so soon as he found he could not recover he requested to be im- mediately brought here. Arrangements to that end were taken, and had death not interposed on Saturday, as stated, his Wish would have been complied with. It is understood that the fine dwelling, now in process, will, by directions given by Mr. K_. shortly beforche breathed his last, he carried to completion. Trial of the case of Carver es. Staples, a suit for title to real estate worth about $15, called in court at Bridgeport last week Monday, has been postponed to the June term. This estate known as the “Carver Flatiron,” has become rapidly valuable of late, the contending parties havingexpended on it in litigations, sum's aggregating $1,000, and the end yet afar oil. It is one of those contests lawyers- love to engage in, as they can hammer away (introducing the tongs—and bellows for that matter as occasion suggests) with- out hurting anybody, both clients having great wealth. On one side is the presi- dent of the bank, Mr. H. Staples, and a rich physician in good standing, George B. Bouton, M. D., (for Carver,) on the other. Each is confident he is right, and each has manifested a disposition to suffer, willingly, drains on his purse for the sake of making the other chap pay roundly. By estimate the value of salt grass cut from the estate has not exceeded 50 cents in any year. ~ In some years there has been fun at the cutting,and decidedly hot work at the gathering of the grass after it was' cut, both claiming ownership, and both striving to keep the same from going to the other’s barn. Should the fight contin- ue, and it is likely to as haying time is nearly here once more, the “Flatiron” will show- a vector sum sunk on its account without visible enhancement to speak of, than any similar tract in the Nutmeg State.

Following this exor- upon which a' citizen of Waterbury his brought charge against him for damages to the amount of $10,000 for having alienated the affections of the said citizen’s wife. He closes with these .noblc senti- ments! "Firm and determined in the past, I shall await the future with an inflexible courage and confidence. The profession of the law will be degraded, the pursuit of it will be unsafe, if its members who by education and by study strive to honor and adorn its ranks, can be made the target for the wiles and machinations of such persoas with immu- nity."
